Statistically, Jared Goff has been slightly better than Geno Smith in most categories, but both have been top-10 quarterbacks since 2022, which could make negotiations difficult for the Seahawks.
Earning a much-deserved pay day after guiding the Detroit Lions to the NFC Championship Game in January, Jared Goff cashed in to become one of the five highest-paid quarterbacks in annual salary, and the ripple effects of his deal likely will be felt by several other teams around the NFL.quarterback situation beyond 2024 may sit atop the list. With two years left on his current contract, veteran Geno Smith's deal remains one of the better bargains in the league with his $26.
Since taking over for long-time starter Russell Wilson two seasons ago, Smith has been one of the NFL's best stories, ranking in the top-10 in most major passing categories during that span. Along with 50 touchdown passes, he ranks fourth in completion percentage, eighth in passer rating, and first in game-winning drives orchestrated, winning Comeback Player of the Year honors in 2022 and earning back-to-back Pro Bowl selections in the process.
Comparing Seattle's situation to Detroit, only a few short years ago, the Lions found themselves in a similar situation after trading Matthew Stafford to the Rams for Goff, who had been jettisoned only a few years after leading the team to a Super Bowl appearance. But the former No. 1 pick has blossomed in coordinator Ben Johnson's offense, stacking up against the best quarterbacks in the league and silencing any talks about drafting a successor.
Comparatively, Smith has thrown for only 7,906 yards, or more than 1,000 yards less than Goff. But the two veterans have near-identical touchdown rates, interception rates, and passer ratings, with each player ranking in the top-10 in all three metrics. Smith also has posted a higher completion rate with more game-winning drives and more contributions as a runner with 521 rushing yards, adding value to his resume from a dual-threat standpoint.
Showcasing Smith's precision as a passer, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, he has ranked in the top seven in Completion Percentage Above Expectation in both of his seasons as a starter for the Seahawks, including ranking first in that metric in 2022. As for Goff, he finished outside of the top 20 that season and was only slightly better last year.
